English Summary/英文概要： As the New York Times bestselling author of the Troubleshooters series and a “superstar of romantic suspense” (USA Today), Suzanne Brockmann has an acclaimed history of taking readers’ breath away with her novels of hot passion and high adventure. Now she takes her talent for sexy, action-packed storytelling in a thrilling new direction: forward—into a future, both fantastic and frightening, that only the brilliant Brockmann could envision.

Dishonorably discharged, former Navy SEAL Shane Laughlin is down to his last ten bucks when he finally finds work as a test subject at the Obermeyer Institute, a little-known and believed-to-be-fringe scientific research facility. When he enters the OI compound, he is plunged into a strange world where seemingly mild-mannered scientists—including women half his size—can kick his highly skilled ass.

Shane soon discovers that there are certain individuals who possess the unique ability to access untapped regions of the brain with extraordinary results—including telekinesis, super strength, and reversal of the aging process. Known as “Greater-Thans,” this rare breed is recruited by OI, where they are rigorously trained using ancient techniques to cultivate their powers and wield them responsibly.

But in the depths of America’s second Great Depression, where the divide between the haves and the have-nots has grown even wider, those who are rich—and reckless—enough have a quick, seductive alternative: Destiny, a highly addictive designer drug that can make anyone a Greater-Than, with the power of eternal youth. The sinister cartel known as The Organization has begun mass-producing Destiny, and the demand is epidemic. But few realize the drug’s true danger, and fewer still know the dirty secret of Destiny’s crucial ingredient.

Michelle “Mac” Mackenzie knows the ugly truth. And as one of the Obermeyer Institute’s crack team of operatives, she’s determined to end the scourge of Destiny. But her kick-ass attitude gets knocked for a loop when she finds that one of the new test subjects is none other than Shane, the same smoldering stranger who just rocked her world in a one-night stand. Although Shane isn’t a Greater-Than like Mac, as an ex-SEAL, he’s got talents of his own. But Mac’s got powerful reasons to keep her distance from him—and reasons that are just as strong to want him close. She’s used to risking her life, but now, in the midst of the ultimate war on drugs, she must face sacrificing her heart.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： Suzanne Brockmann是纽约时报周刊畅销书作者，并且被“今日美国”评为浪漫悬疑小说类的佼佼者。她的小说总是跌宕起伏，情节紧张，可以紧紧抓住读者的眼球。现在她要把自己的天赋放到一个新的领域，在她创造的未来世界中尽情书写故事。

被开除军籍的前美国海豹突击队成员Shane生活困苦，在身上只剩下10块钱的时候，终于找到了一份工作，在欧博迈亚研究所当实验对象。这是个名不见经传的小研究所，当Shane踏进这个地方的时候，他就来到了一个完全陌生的世界，他发现那些看上去很温和的科学家，甚至是比他矮一半的女人都可以轻易地击倒他。

Shane很快地发现在这群人中有些具有强大的超能力，他们可以开发大脑中常人未曾开发的能力，其中包括心灵感应，超人的力气和永久的青春，这群人被欧博迈亚研究所招募集中起来用古老的方式严格地训练，使他们能培养并发挥他们独特的能力。

但当时美国正在经历第二次经济大萧条，贫富差距巨大。富人们很快发现了一种很容易上瘾的药物，它可以使任何一个人都变成超能力者，而且永葆青春。一个邪恶的组织立刻大批量生产这种名为“命运”的药物，而且市场的需求量很大。但是只有少数人知道这种药物存在的危险，以及“命运”药物成分中肮脏的秘密。

Michelle “Mac” Mackenzie知道这个丑陋的事实。她曾为欧博迈亚研究所工作过，她下定决心要阻止这个可怕的计划。但是当发现Shane也是实验对象之一时，她动摇了。这个闷骚的陌生人刚和她发生过一夜情。虽然Shane并不像Mac有超能力，但身为一个前海豹突击队成员，他也具有超乎常人的能力。Mac有足够的理由可以离他远远的，但是想要接近他的想法似乎同样强烈。她已经习惯于冒险的生活，但是现在，在与危险药物的最终战争中，她可能要牺牲的是自己的最真实的愿望。(XAT)
